Thank you! Rip Chester

Here's a before and after for you! Love this style of videos. More community content please!

My first sim racing setup today vs my very first "setup" from 3 years ago. Surprisingly enough, I am still indeed married. Gear for those interested: PC CPU: 5800X GPU: 3070 Founder Edition Monitors: Samsung CRG9 49 inch, Acer 27 inch curved x2 (left and right) Dell 34 inch (top) I don't know the model numbers off the top of my head Peripherals: Keyboard- Logitech G915 Mouse - Logitech Gpro Wireless Headphones- Logitech Gpro X Wireless Speakers-Logitech Z533's Webcam-Logitech Brio 4k Logitech Mic- Hyper X Quadcast S Misc: 1 TB NVME SSD and 1 TB SSD, Corsair H100i AIO, 32 gigs of Corsair Vengeance 3200 mhz Ram. Corsair 5000D Case, Displate DBZ Gpu cover Sim Racing Gear Wheelbase and Wheel: Simagic Alpha Ultimate with Simagic GT1R Wireless Wheel Pedals: VRS Direct Force Pro Pedals Rig: GT Omega Prime with Gt Omega quad stand alone monitor stand Shifter: SHH Newt 2 Sequential and H pattern shifter Seat: Out of a totaled 2021 Dodge Charger Scat Pack Accessories: Buttkicker Gamer Pro, Dayton Audio puck (x4) with Douk 4 channel amp, streamdeck, lots of C by GE and Phillips Hues bulbs I think that about does it.

I think he was just trying to be helpful. Anyway, if you look closely under the deck plate I have a reinforced steel bracket system that is designed to support the playseat's wheel deck for Direct Drive wheels. It's from a company called Lowdown Shifters, they are in the UK but their shipping is reasonable. It eliminates almost all the flex. I have recorded myself drive with, and without it, and the difference is huge, I can feel it as well, I feel like I loose less detail with the deck not flexing so much. I appreciate the kinds words man, it means a lot, and I will work on the cable management. I need to get some more runners.

That's fair, I could shift my pc and have it facing the front, and take off the printer, I barely use it anyway, so that I could move the monitors back more. The desk is huge, 74 inches. it's not even a desk, it's a counter top that I put legs on. As far as the speakers go, I use headphones 99 percent of the time. They're just there for when I want to listen to music in the house, but that could be solved by what I mentioned above as well I suppose.

I would really like some feedback! This is my set up, the first 2 are my "work setup". I work from home about half of the time, I do graphic design and account management. The second 2 are my sim racing setup, which is the same space but "transformed" into a sim rig. We just moved into our fist home, in our apartment, the fold away cockpit was a necessity due to space. Now that I have a full office I can fit a standalone rig in there. But for now and for the foreseeable future this accomplishes everything I need and take minutes to set up. Plus it is unique, it took a lot of thought and trial and error to get everything just right.

You're not wrong.

Agreed, honestly one of the reasons I went with them. I understand delays, I'm not trying to be unreasonable. But an email explaining there is a delay would be the bare minimum I would expect from an SI with a reputation like Origin.

I'm not a fan of asking family or friends for financial help. I appreciate the response though.

I understand that, but they went out of the way to mark which parts were going to cause delays. For example I originally wanted to do a 5900x and a 3080 but those were going to add 2+ weeks to the build/ship date. So I chose to not select those.

Hey man! Yes I remember your username! I am still sim racing. I am an Iracing nut lol. I race every Tuesday in a cup league, I'm a team owner there. I still do official races here and there but mostly hosted races with friends/ people I have met on the server. Funny enough I ended up buying a Samsung CRG90 49 inch monitor, not triples lol. Ended up working out really well given the space I have. Here of some photos of how I ended up. Monitor arms were a godsend for me.

Hi everyone, I'll make this as quick as humanly possible. Ordered a PC from Origin, nothing insane, 5800x, 3070, 480 gig nvme, 1 tb ssd, dual aio. Regardless of the specs, it's Origin, so I spent a heft sum of money on it, but I thought this was the fastest way to get the gpu I wanted, and not spend scalper pricing. I was wrong. it has been 2 weeks and i have not so much as heard a peep from Origin. I have emailed 3 times, no response. I have called customer care, and they just keep telling me to wait for the email to come through with no additional information. I'm out almost 3 grand. I'm not a wealthy person. I used cash for this not credit as I am in the process of rebuilding my credit after not taking care of it while I was in the military. Being a dumb 18 year old straight out of high school will do that. My card limits are fairly low. I typically use cash for most things, even larger purchases. I will continue to try and get someone to cancel my order, as it has not even begun to be built yet. Question. Does anyone know of any SI's or private builders that have access to PC parts and do financing that doesn't require really high credit. I would prefer to find someone private that would take payments. Large payments mind you, not small ones. I don't even need to pick the pc up first. I'll happily make payments until i have paid it off and can pick it up if we sign some kind of notarized contract. It's not a lack of wanting to build my own, but I work 60 hours a week and don't have time to stalk releases, and I won't pay scalper prices for a gpu. I know this is a weird post. Thanks for any feedback.

So you're saying 1) No, the 1060 6gb not good enough for triples 2) get a 1080 TI 3) get a better cooler 4) get trips 5) party is that about right

i appreciate everyone's engagement on my thread. I was hoping to get more positive stories from people that have followed a similar path. Unfortunately i got more unkind messages than positive ones but i guess that just says a lot about the tech community as a whole, I was involved on the mobile side of computing for 8 years and it isn't any different on that side. But for every turd there is a decent person out there. Thanks again for the replies!

I've seen other people using high end chip set engineering samples to save some cash while getting the top of the line goodness. Where do you typically find reliable samples? Ebay?
